Singing chimpmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore return for more high-pitched antics in their third animated/live-action movie.
On route to a gig, the Chipmunks and Chipettes get "chipwrecked" on a desert island. There they get involved in a race for buried treasure with the island's sole inhabitant... returning to star are Jason Lee (My Name Is Earl) as Dave, and David Cross (Arrested Development) as their vengeful former manager.
As impressive as the CG elements are in "Chipwrecked," they're a mixed blessing: The more lifelike the techies make the critters -- Alvin (voiced by Justin Long), Theodore (Jesse McCartney) and Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) -- the more we're reminded they're rodents.
Full reviewSteel yourself for a mix of slapstick humour, highpitched cover versions and conservative family values.

To be fair, this franchise was never intended to appeal to anyone over six. Parents should take along their own entertainment.

I fear the furry singing sensations may have finally run completely aground. If only they were truly stranded on that desert island…

From the p.o.v. of its targeted young audiences (it’s G-rated, as opposed to those prior PG ratings) it should handily do the trick.

With its wall-to-wall pop covers, Chipwrecked isn't a kids' movie so much as a brightly animated, instantly forgettable animated feature-length advertisement for the NOW That's What I Call Music! compilation series of contemporary pop hits.
